It wasn’t until Ling Yi actually began tutoring Kiana that she realized just how terrible Kiana’s fundamentals were.
‘Wasn’t this taught by your teacher last year?
How do you not know this?’ “Why should I still remember something after it’s already been on an exam?
If I don’t clear out my memory after every exam, how am I supposed to remember what we learn next semester?” ‘Huh?’ Having studied under Mobius for seven years, Ling Yi possessed enough knowledge in biology to qualify as the Doctor.
She simply couldn’t comprehend Kiana’s understanding of human anatomy.
“Anyway, that’s how it is!” Kiana nodded.
‘…’ Inside their consciousness space, Ling Yi clutched her head, feeling a headache coming on.
Mastering this knowledge might seem useless to Kiana’s future, but that wasn’t actually the case.
If she didn’t learn it properly or finish her homework, the teachers here in the Far East really would resort to corporal punishment.
Not to mention that if Ling Yi followed Kiana to St.
Freya in the future, Theresa and the others would lecture them every day over their grades.
Just thinking about it made her head hurt.
To avoid standing outside the classroom with a bucket balanced on her head, Ling Yi was determined to make Kiana study hard, no matter what it took.
Unlike Mobius, Kiana was still a child.
Constantly indulging her wouldn’t be good for her; she would subconsciously begin relying on others.
‘Come on, Kiana.
I’ll turn you into a good student!’ Half an hour later…
“Zzz…
gaming console…
zzz…” Despite Ling Yi’s repeated urging, Kiana managed to live up to expectations by…
falling asleep.
Even having another version of herself tutoring her inside her head couldn’t stop Kiana from putting her head down on her workbook and falling fast asleep…
‘Holy crap…’ Ling Yi had never seen anyone fall asleep the instant they put their head down on a desk…
Unable to stand the drool running from the corner of her mouth, Ling Yi seized control of the body and wiped it away.
“Are you an idiot?
There’s suddenly another person inside your head, yet you don’t have the slightest sense of danger.
Is everyone in the Kaslana family this stupid?” Controlling Kiana’s body, Ling Yi sat up and stared at the barely touched workbook before her, her head aching.
She finally understood why Mobius had always called her an idiot.
“Wake up and do your homework.
Hurry.” Inside the consciousness space, Ling Yi kept nudging Kiana’s little consciousness avatar, but there was no response whatsoever.
Kiana showed no sign of waking up.
“Tsk…” Ling Yi clicked her tongue as she stared at Kiana’s workbook.
She picked up the pen, put it down, then picked it up again.
After confirming once more that Kiana truly was asleep, Ling Yi began doing the homework.
After all, she and Kiana now shared the same body, and Ling Yi really didn’t want to be punished by being made to stand outside…
In her previous life, her teacher had physically punished her practically every day for not completing her assigned schoolwork…
Ling Yi truly didn’t want to experience that again.
After briefly skimming the workbook, Ling Yi swiftly put pen to paper and soon finished all the assignments.
Sensing that Kiana still showed no sign of waking, Ling Yi stretched and prepared to head outside for a look around.
This was Nagazora City, the place where the dreams of countless Honkai Impact 3rd players had begun.
Naturally, Ling Yi was interested in exploring it.
“Hey, I’m going out.
If you don’t answer, I’ll take that as your consent.” ‘Zzzz…’ She casually grabbed something to wear and draped it over herself, leaving the long white hair behind her loose.
Standing before the mirror, Ling Yi studied Kiana’s reflection.
Her long white hair cascaded freely over a predominantly purple jacket.
Her left leg was covered by a white stocking, while her right stocking faded from purple at the top to black below.
The asymmetrical colors and lengths perfectly accentuated the shape of Kiana’s legs.
“Leaving it loose looks way better than wearing it in a braid…” After quietly criticizing Kiana’s taste and admiring herself for a while, Ling Yi slipped on a pair of shoes and headed out.
“Hmm…
I only thought about going out for a look, but I don’t have a destination at all.” Only after stepping outside did she realize it was already late at night.
The entire city had shed its bustle.
The night was gentle and tranquil, with only a few scattered lights along the streets, while the silver moon overhead appeared especially striking.
Ling Yi looked around at the somewhat unfamiliar surroundings, feeling a little lost.
She checked the time and discovered that there were still several months before the Third Honkai Eruption.
She wondered whether Kiana had already met Raiden Mei.
When the Third Honkai Eruption occurred, everyone in Nagazora City died.
Afterward, Raiden Mei remained consumed by guilt.
If possible, Ling Yi wanted to prevent that tragedy.
Although she still wasn’t strong enough, there was plenty of time.
She would have more opportunities to perform simulations.
As for now…
she wanted to admire Nagazora City’s night scenery.
Thump— Ling Yi lightly hopped in place to warm up, only to leap two meters into the air.
‘Hiss…
Correction.
What I need to do first is familiarize myself with this body.’ The corner of Ling Yi’s mouth twitched.
Having controlled Mobius’s body for so long, she couldn’t immediately gain full control over Kiana’s.
Mobius was a researcher who spent most of her time sitting in a laboratory, while Kiana was a warrior who had fought against the Honkai since childhood.
The difference in their physical abilities was like heaven and earth.
It was honestly a miracle she hadn’t torn her clothes while getting changed earlier…
……
“Serpent Ancestor, reporting.
Target No.
1 has left her residence.” On the roof of a high-rise building, a silver-haired girl who looked no older than thirteen or fourteen lay prone, her hair styled in twin spiral buns.
A sniper rifle rested against her shoulder, its barrel raised and aimed at the white-haired girl.
“Reporting.
Target No.
1 has moved away from her residence.” The silver-haired girl observed her through the rifle’s scope for a while before speaking.
“What is she doing?” An electronically distorted, genderless voice came through the earpiece.
The silver-haired girl pursed her lips.
She had received Mother’s order to obey this Serpent Ancestor’s every command during the operation, but she couldn’t understand why Mother wanted her to do so.
The Serpent Ancestor commanding her had even altered their voice, showing no sincerity whatsoever in their cooperation with Mother.
Suppressing her displeasure, the silver-haired girl took a deep breath.
“She’s…” The silver-haired girl suddenly paused.
“Answer the question, soldier.” “She’s running laps around the city.
She’s already completed one lap.” The girl reported what she was seeing with disbelief.
“Hmm?” Even the mechanical voice betrayed a hint of confusion.
Who in their right mind went running in the middle of the night?!
